Nyagaroon:
Project Underway 2023




In November last year, the Taungurung Land and Waters Council announced the formal transfer of the Nyagaroon property from the Victorian Government to the Taungurung people. Nyagaroon is the cultural name given to a place on the Acheron River within the Cathedral Ranges Cultural Landscape context, most recently operated as the Acheron Youth Camp. The location sits on more than 100 hectares of Taungurung Country.

WA has been engaged to work within a co-design framework with the Taungurung Land and Waters Council to design the transformation of this landscape, its infrastructure, and its buildings into a thriving cultural place for the Taungurung community.

This project is guided by the Cultural Landscape Management Strategy and led by the Taungurung Land and Waters Council.
